So...I figure pretty much EVERYBODY on this site is against the boa and python ban/hunting. I was just wondering, what do yall think about the "Rattlesnake Round Up" held in Texas every year?

For those who don't know, it's where a whole town goes out and traps as many rattlesnakes as they can, then they basically kill them all. They eat some, and I guess make snake skin products (like boots, bags, etc.) with a lot of them too.

I never like to see ANY animal get hurt, but I suppose I can understand...There are a LOT of rattlesnakes around where I live and a lot of people even die from getting bit by them, so I suppose I can understand trying to keep their population down, but it still makes me sad...

Another random topic : How do yall feel about snake skin products? Does it matter what kind of snake was used to make it? (Like poisionous vs. non-poisionous)
